Miss Carole’s 9th recording is another invitation to sing, dance and DO!  “WELCOME” is packed with 29 songs and movement opportunities with some cool-down poems mixed in.  Get out your sticks or bells, pass a “pumpkin” ball or go for a ride in the car while observing the traffic lights!  Listen and DO!

Dances?  YES!  “Pumpkin, Pumpkin Round and Fat” is a wonderful mixer for children 4 and up.  The directions are in the liner notes.  “Let Us Chase the Squirrel” partners pairs of children as trees with squirrel children scampering from tree to tree as the song dictates.    

“We’re Going for a Walk” gives a nod to some of Miss Carole’s fan favorites. The Bear Hunt style song brings back “Sticky Bubble Gum”, “Stinky Cake” and “The Wishy Washy Washerwoman” with a classic call-response narrative and thigh-tapping steady beat.

Learn some Spanish vocabulary in “Mi Cuerpo!”  Get a workout doing “Bumpin’ Up’n’Down” and the hysterical “One Little Bunny Hoppin’ on the Floor”.  You’ll need a “Catnap” after this one!

Why do Miss Carole’s recordings consistently appear in the Top Sellers of children’s musical recordings? It could be the clear lyrics and developmentally appropriate subjects for early childhood learners.  It might be the top-notch band and wide range of musical styles.  It must be the adorable Macaroni Soup Singers whose enthusiastic singing will make you grin!  

A teacher said, “It’s like Carole knows how children think!”  

A librarian said, “You can’t go wrong with anything Miss Carole produces – kids and parents love her!  She’s SNEAKILY educational!”
